I really like listening to some podcasts. It really helps me to get through the day. But man, i pay for spotify to not have ads, what’s the point of doing that when podcasts just play their own ads? I don’t mind a 4 hour podcast having two ads or so, i’ll never listen to them, and i’ll never buy or subscribe to their absolute garbage, but okay. But a 45min podcast with 3 lengthy ads, fuck off. Also when podcasts suddenly have a patreon, fine, but then they make 3min episodes where they just talk about their patreon and it shows up as a new episode, fuck off.
I always thought, fine, i guess they also need to make some money for their efforts. Then i saw a youtube video about a scammer who scammed some money from podcasters. They stole 4millions or so from a podcaster. They made 4million dollars to be stolen from but have to sell raycons, which are SHIT, doordash which is the worst, stupid ass real life lootcrates, if you want to buy shit you don’t even know what you get and wo on. I don’t know, i think it’s fucked the way it is.
